Woman narrates painful experience
In the interview clip, the interviewer asked her, “Your husband made you apologise to his mistress?” The woman, sitting directly opposite the interviewer, calmly responded, “Yes.” She added, “And I apologised.”
Her honesty during the conversation struck a chord with many viewers, as she explained the emotional pain and self-doubt she endured during her marriage.
“He told me I was ugly”
The woman further revealed that her husband constantly told her she was ugly, a statement that deeply affected her self-esteem. According to her, she began to believe his hurtful words over time.
She explained that she decided to apologise to the mistress for the sake of her peace of mind, noting that she always wanted to return home to see her husband’s two children.
Social media reactions
The emotional story has sparked widespread debate and sympathy on social media, with many users sharing their thoughts about self-worth, emotional abuse, and toxic relationships.
A user identified as Damilola wrote: “If someone keeps calling you ugly, remember, it’s their bitterness speaking, not the truth. Don’t let their words define your worth. Step back and leave to protect your peace, and know you deserve love that builds, not breaks.”
Another user, The Loner, reacted: “However if you’re still moving around waiting for someone to tell you you’re beautiful before you know it? You need to work on yourself and frankly you shouldn’t be with anyone to begin with.”
